are only two that are not to DO filed by law
yers. The two Supreme Court Justices. tho two
City Court Judges, the additional Criminal
Court Judge, the District Attorney. end the
Surrogate must DO lawyers, andithe Comptrol-
Ter and one Coroner are all that are left for the
laymen There are eight District Court judges,
too. and the Labor party has not enough ablo
lawyers In 1t to I'LL all these places. There is an
embarrassment Of ofIloes, which neither OF the

For these city Judgeships and other legal
Offices few names have been mentioned and IL
seems to be taken for granted that the aspi-
rants will have no trouble in securing the
nominations. Thomas g. Shearman and Abb
ner Thomas are the two leading names, and
they are talked Of for the Supreme Court JUS

known Of the two. He is an old New YORK
lawyer with high class practice and Q good
standing at the bar He IL also an author. and
has written pamphlet in defense OF Georges
